Co-Op

What Is Co-Op?

Cooperative Education involves partnerships with community representatives across a wide variety of industries with the purpose of extending learning opportunities beyond the traditional classroom.

As one of the several experiential learning programs available to students, Cooperative Education offers students an opportunity to earn secondary school credits while exploring a career and bringing learning to life through experiences in a workplace.

Why Consider Co-op?

By participating in co-operative education, students develop their skills, interests and professional connections while still in high school creating a personal career plan based on realistic, practical information. Students learn about themselves, the expectations of the world of work and the realities of a profession while developing the work habits, attitudes and job skills necessary for a successful transition from secondary school to post-secondary education or the workplace.
